AI Model Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of pricing, context window, benchmarks, capabilities, and license. Every figure comes from the developer's own pages, last checked on ; each model's page lists its sources. A figure we could not source shows as a dash.
Model A — SK Telecom
A.X K2 is a foundation model from SK Telecom, released on July 29, 2026, built under the Korean government’s Sovereign AI foundation model project and trained from scratch in FP8. SK Telecom says it succeeds the 519B-parameter A.X K1 with stronger math, science, Korean-language and long-context reasoning.
Model B — NVIDIA
Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is a 30B-parameter (3B active) open-weight language model from NVIDIA, released on August 11, 2026 with a hybrid Mamba-2 and mixture-of-experts architecture. NVIDIA says it supports up to 1M tokens of context and is ready for commercial use.

Bold green values indicate the winner on that dimension where comparison is meaningful (lower price wins; bigger context wins; more open license wins; newer date wins). Prices are the ones each developer lists today; a model it no longer prices has none.
